I would like to build my own crates based on your advice. Rather than getting a bunch of songs that I probably already have from years of DJing and dealing with even more duplicates, I was wondering if you could share the song lists for the crates?

Nick I can’t tell you how much you’ve really got me excited to bang out weddings again. Last year I was just going through motions at my events and probably guilty of running very similar sets over and over again! Your crate videos have really gotten me so excited to do weddings and events this year with fresh eyes and a new game plan for attacking that dance floor! You’ve made a fan for life my man!! Thanks for your Time an effort you put into these tutorials and keep up the great content!!

@doctormasterdevil 4 года назад

Great breakdown, love your energy! I used to think I had to mindlessly download the most recent of recent hits to play. I quickly realized that weddings is about 95% classic bangers with only a few new hits sprinkled in. I find it laughable when most DJs boast about having "100,000" song collections when in reality, a better DJ handpicks his music library to have bangers only, no fillers. The average party you only play about 100 songs or so if not less. Another thing that defined me as a DJ was bartending in the busiest nightclubs and sports bars in town. It made me realize I didnt want to be the DJ playing the same sets over and over again. After hearing most DJs at my clubs or bars I could quickly tell which song they would play next.

@buddymorgan3198 6 месяцев назад

I just went through my entire music library and re organized all of the music on my hard drive so when I load it into my new Mackbook Pro I can get my crates in order> You have some great tips in here and I will follow suit to get my crates in shape finally.

@ronking2177 10 месяцев назад

I'm retired, 70 years old, been around every genre of music. I have collected music my whole life. I convert the vinyl to digital. One thing, me personally, noticed, is if it has a good dance beat, no matter the genre, they dance. I don't worry about it. I do weddings for free and car shows for tips. I enjoy the music and being around it. Maybe the dance floor isn't full at all times, but it is occupied by different generations and I don't run off the older folks by 8:00. They stay for it all. I do preprogrammed and mixed music, put them into titled folders and open at the precise time. No complaints so far.

@DayNNyteDJs 4 года назад

Great content as always. We started doing this a couple years ago and it has paid HUGE dividends to us. Once or twice a year, we go through all of them again, add new songs and got rid of the "fluff." It's amazing how much easier every event has been since we started doing this. When we meet with our couples now, we talk about genres they like rather than individual songs. Makes prep time so much shorter too. Nice to see you sharing your folders. I'm sure it's worth every penny. Catch you next time you are spinning in Harrisburg. Stay safe.

I always felt weird putting certain songs in the wrong year but it made sense to me since certain songs sound from a different era, like if it’s a 90s song that’s sounds 80s I’ll keep in 80s.

I know this is an older vid but dang this helped he figure out my problem! I just had waaaay to many songs and not enough folders. It would take me 30 secs to find a song sometimes which is an eternity when you're mixing, as well as tons of stuff that just wasn't getting played so using the Serato play count feature most of my 0 plays are getting canned or refiled elsewhere. Good vid!

@ronniedjronniemmoll3058 3 года назад

Hey Nick, How are you? I hope you and your family are doing well. So in this video, you talk about how you organize your crates. But is there a software that you use as your main database or when you download new music do you just put it into your main library folder? Do you keep your main library folder organized as well or is it one big folder with all your songs in it and you use the DJ software to organize? Thank you for your time and stay safe.

@danielstevanus1711 2 года назад

Love this! I’m new to the dj game so this helps me get started well. Question, what about remixes, or like different versions of classic songs. Do you put those in the right spot in the crate based off the original? Or do you have a “remix folder?”

You can create folders where you store your music and then load those folders as crates into Serato... just make sure those folders contain only MP3s - no other files or sub folders

Hi I have not seen your crates yet but I usually play for a Latin crowd and of course American music. I play all bangers. Switch out Elvis Presley and Etta James At Last for this song that I am going to tell you and the older folks will appreciate it like they did with me. Try giving them Europa by Gato Barbieri. It is a beautiful balad. Let me know what happens.

@NickSpinelli 4 года назад

Hi Nick! Im a wedding DJ from Russia and I want to say that me and my friends-Dj-s have almost the same crates as you are. Of course, we usually don't have "Latin" music in special folder/crate :) But the main difference is that many Djs, who I know, divide all music to "Foreign" and "Russian" and these are our main crates which include sub-crates similar to yours. And on most wedding parties usually plays music from "Russian" crate, of course :) and sub-crates often looks like "Rus-dance..." and then goes a date of creating this folder (and crate). And it always consist of bangers so you can easy find what you need. That might be interesting, i thought. ;)

difference between club and wedding DJ is no one is coming back next week to hear the wedding DJ. being unique is fine for you, but with 70 years of top 10 lists, there’s plenty of tired and true known pop tunes with no complaints snot being boring except for your own personal muse.
